US says it will do its own verification after Cuba says 4 killed aboard speedboat

Feb 25 (Reuters) - U.S. top diplomat Marco Rubio said Washington will do its own verification and reach its own conclusion about an incident in which Cuba said its forces killed four people and wounded six others aboard a Florida-based speedboat that entered Cuban waters on Wednesday and opened fire on a Cuban patrol.

Rubio told reporters this was not a U.S. operation and that people from U.S. government were not involved.
